Vic Toews Is a Douchenozzle

So, as I'm sure most of you have heard, there was a bit of a kerfuffle around the recent Autumn Convocation Ceremony at the U of W due to the fact that the U of W Senate decided to grant Vic "Mr. Family Values" Toews an honorary doctorate of laws. You won't be surprised to find out that Jacquie and I were at the centre of that kerfuffle. For those of you who haven't been paying attention to the news, see below for a handful of resources to get you caught up.
